Tsunami size variability with rupture depth

Kwok Fai Cheung — 2021-12-13

Nature Geoscience, Published online: 13 December 2021; doi:10.1038/s41561-021-00869-z

Rupture depth helps explain variations in the size of tsunamis produced by earthquakes, according to numerical modelling and an array of observations.

Methane matters

Nature Geoscience, Published online: 03 December 2021; doi:10.1038/s41561-021-00875-1

The Global Methane Pledge is a good start, but larger cuts in emissions are achievable with current technology. More ambition is needed to help limit warming to 1.5 °C.

Development of ice-shelf estuaries promotes fractures and calving

Alexandra L. Boghosian — 2021-12-03

Nature Geoscience, Published online: 03 December 2021; doi:10.1038/s41561-021-00837-7

Ice-shelf surface rivers can form estuaries that promote fracturing and enhance calving, according to observations from the Petermann and Ryder ice shelves in Greenland.

A salty deep ocean as a prerequisite for glacial termination

Gregor Knorr — 2021-12-03

Nature Geoscience, Published online: 03 December 2021; doi:10.1038/s41561-021-00857-3

Heat stored in the deep ocean due to salinity stratification contributed to rapid Antarctic warming during middle and late Pleistocene glacial terminations, according to coupled atmosphere–ocean general circulation model simulations.

Decolonizing geoscience requires more than equity and inclusion

Max Liboiron — 2021-12-02

Nature Geoscience, Published online: 02 December 2021; doi:10.1038/s41561-021-00861-7

Colonial relationships with Indigenous land and knowledge in geoscience disciplines must be acknowledged to address harm and change how science is done, argues Max Liboiron.

Machine learning in Earth and environmental science requires education and research policy reforms

Sean W. Fleming — 2021-12-02

Nature Geoscience, Published online: 02 December 2021; doi:10.1038/s41561-021-00865-3

Leveraging advances in artificial intelligence could revolutionize the Earth and environmental sciences. We must ensure that our research funding and training choices give the next generation of geoscientists the capacity to realize this potential.

Biochar in climate change mitigation

Johannes Lehmann — 2021-12-02

Nature Geoscience, Published online: 02 December 2021; doi:10.1038/s41561-021-00852-8

Climate change mitigation strategies based on biochar generation—and its application to agricultural soils—can effectively sequester carbon, although biogeochemical and economic trade-offs must be considered.
